THE

Our attention has been called upon
several occasions to parties who In
habit this fair land Of ours, who arc
so constructed, that it is in. poss,ble fer
them to contain that element so essen.
tail to humanity a modicum of truth.
It is to he deplored than any commu-
nifty is compelled to hafbor and yeccg-
n;se a specimen of humanity in the
seinblance of q human being and the
heart of a Ayena whose gall is 50 I'M
mense that an aroma Of dissatisfaction
and disgust %pcryades the very atmos-
phcre wherever found.
We are 10th to chronicle any circum-
stance wherein an individual is so
lost to conscience and to truth as to
blight tile fair fame OF amy land whose
bosom gives him sustenapcc. whore
9 IN warns his shrivc!el soul. ana whose
rains moisten the corpase!cs OF hi
hr~ist!e-coyered hide. We Zee! inlir.
nant toward any party or Individual who
would be mea enough to construct IL
fabrication Of fa!.e!iooas, dctrimcn-
tai to the interest Of a country for
which nature has been SO lavish in her
cndowmsnts in everything that goes
TO make it one OF the most desirable
spots for those who arc anxious to Sc
cure for themselves and families good
and pleasant homes.
All we ask Of those who have heen
misled by Misrepresentation in regard
10 this fair land, will come and see for
themselves the truth Of the assertions
made by those who have a knowledge
of what they are talking about.
The luxuriant grasses. the waving
grain, The golden corn. the shady groves
the sleek fat cattle, the c%ongenial eli
mate, the abundant rains. the health
invigorating atmosphere gives the inl-
print of wilfnl falselieod To amy report
to the contrary. We feel a pity for
any one whose conscience is so COM
pletely swampcd in the gall Of deceit
and falschood that the ~cnervating In
tluences of the purifying elements of
this beautiful country glance from his
case-hardened conscience like shot from
the sides of an iron-clad.
We opine that any individual who
hugs the JUNCTION to his soul that in
falsifying the true condition Of this
country, and places i~mpedilnents in the
track Of progress, will receive encom-
iums from the people, will be mistaken
but it would be better instead, that
their remains be embalmcd and placed
in son conspicuous place flat the
public might gaze upon IL Of natures
master strokes in creating an accunau-
~lation Of the quint-essence Of pure Gus
scaness.
The attempt to establish a report
that this is no country for Il poor man,
il physiclogically interpreted, we an.
swcr in the affirmative, nor is there
any country where such a bipcd could
exist, without brains or muscle they
would lie unfit for scare.crows in corn
fields in any country; but to the ener-
!, se;ic poor man, who has brains and
perseverance it is a libel to assert that
this is no country for him. 1t is
{. very ineonvenient 10 be poor in purse.
hut no disgrace. and we welcome such
to this land of inexhaustllle resources
and varied enterprises.

THERE are 100000 acres o fpublic
lands still open for settlement in Da-
kota. How long it will last may be
calculated from the fact that last year
with immigration exceedingly dull. Il
100000 of acres were settled upon
This year from present indications at
least double this quantity Of land will
be taken. OF course those first on the
the ground secure the choicest tracts.

Sioux Falls Press: Dakota is too
rich a country in material resources to
be without railroads. The older states
were settled before they had railroads;
but in Dakota the railroads have gone
in advance of settlement. The mana
gers know that the greater the mileage
Of railroads, the faster the country will
settle.

Asst looks now, from official reports
Dakota stands at the head Of the list
in the crop prospect. Drouth and In

Dakota will be a producer instead OF q
consumer, and the wealth that has
gone out to fill the Golfers of u neigh
bors will ebb, and flow back again

Comment in Nova Scotia on the
Pending Trouble

IcuuInS lrOuD1e.
HALIFAX, N. S. Oct. 13.--rhe publi-
cation here of Washington special say
ing that Secretary Bayard and Commits
siOners Putnam and Angel had de-
termined that free fish could not be
made the basis of the pending negOtia-
tiOnS, eXcites great interest and Is the
principal theme of discussion in busi-
ness circles. The great thing that Nova
Scotia cares for in the fishery muddle is
the admission of its fish free into the
United States. That is the one thing
that is of any advantage to this country.
Nova Scotia would also like to have free
admission for its natural products, but
this is unimpOrtant compared with free
fish. There has been grow
ing feeling here since the ap-
pOintment of the commission was an
nOunced that it would not result in any
thing practicable. The feeling is uni
versal to-day that it will be farce. A
large section of our people have no con-
fidence whatever in Chamberlain, ard
IriSh-CanadianS would infinitely prefer
that things should remain as they are
rather than that Chamberlain should
have any hand in the settlement. The
only thing wanted by the Americans is
the right of commerce and the privilege
of transshipment of their fish in bond.
They can carry on their fisheries with
out buying bait here. These are the
only two points the Americans want to
secure, and just the two that there is
not the slightest probability of either
the English or Canadian commissioners
agreeing to. If they did their action
would never be ratified by the Canadian
parliament. So that it is both the uni
versal feeling and hope here that the
commission will end I'm fiasco.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 13.-The govern
mept here is in receipt of advices from
Stka, which contain the brief which is
understood to have been filed at Sitka
by Mr.. A. X. Delaney, counsel for the
United States in the seal fisheries dis
pute. Mr.. Delaney takes the position
dtnaejthe Behring sea is not portion of
tiie open or high sea, but essentially a
hnd-lOcked inland water. While ad-
hitting the justice and legality of the
international law allowing only three
miles of sea adjacent to a nation to be
controlled by that nation, he also
claims as equally well estab-
lished that other principle
giving nation jurisdiction over
all inland waters. He claims that sea
lnclOsed by the territories of a nation
and having no connecting channel with
the ocean except the one controlled by
that nation, is iand-lOcked, and under
the dominion of the nBtiOn having pos
session of its entrance. Mr.. Delaney
proves that Russia always asserted that
Behrlng sea was an inland water, and
that the United States has always main
tanned the same position since she ac-
qulred title. He cOncluSively proves
RuSSia right to jurisdiction over Beh-
ring sea under the law of nations, viz,
original possession of the ASiatic coast
followed by discovery and settlement of
the Aleutian chain and the shores of
Alaska. On this understanding of the
law the United States is prepared to
abide the Judgment of the courts and
the opinion of the civilized world.

ON THE QUIET.
The Knights Of Labor Hold q
Strictly Eyecutiye Session.

Il
Strictly Executive Session.
At the morning session of the Knights
of Labor assembly yesterday General
Master Workman Powderly was absent
and A. A. Carlton presided in his stead.
The following letter from District AS
Sembly POS, of England, was read:
There are some of our industrial condi-
lions that should be known If right appre-
citation of our difficulties is to be formed. The
true status of our relations to-day and piece
work and other matters not in vogue in
America, can only be truly appreciated by
man who lives among these conditions.
Hence If abortive labor struggles are to be
avoided, some authority having plenary pow
efS 10 mediate arrange and enforce terms In
behalf of the order, should be set up among
us and supported. communication takes q
month TO cross the water and return. Hence
difficulties may arise, culminate and pass be-
yond control while correspondence is
en- route. Conference by telegraph
is expensive and Unsatisfactory,
hamperiug us and leading TO
misunderstanding. Therefore we ask that
man be appointed from among u.s. and that
he be paid in order TO be beyond the black
hstlng power OF wealth, this man 10 be in
vested with organizing and mediating pow
ers so that in cases of trouble we may make
our own terms and assume the functions of
the general officers in America, when circum-
stances make it impossible to put before
them the true facts. The apology for troub
ling you at this length lies in the desire 10
advance and consolidate the order till it
shall cover the whole earth, even as The
waters I'LL the sea.
\ letter was also read from the Cana
dian knights, asking for the appoint
ment of legislative committee of three
for Canada. This was put in the hands
of the committee Oh legislation. The
committee on appeals and grievances
presented its report. In the matter of
District Assembly 126, further time was
given the committee. a letter was read
from the lOngshoremen of Philadelphia
complaining of the violation of the for
eign contract labor law.
The eight-hour question came up in
connection with the cigarlnakers. and it
was decided that as the National Cigar
makers union has established the eight
honr rule the Knights of Labor should
adhere to it. Union labels will not be
iSued to cigar factories working their
men more than eight hours.
n Res 0iutiOn was passed urging
the street car employees of New York
to unite in an effort to better their con-
dition.
Certain charges preferred against del
egates were ruled out of order.
The afternoon session was strictly
executive and no report of the business
transacted was supplied to the press.
The general executive board last
evening held q conference in regard to
the situation of the Minneapolis
cO0pers.
1t is not thought now the assembly
can possibly conclude its work before
the middle of next week.

day. Patrick Linchan and George Mil
len swore that Sunday: Aug.::7, they
we, into the saloon by the back door
and drank beer there. Thomas Canty,
Samerund's attorney, here moved the
dismissal of the case on the ground that
the city had no right in the first place.
This was denied, and then Mr.. Canty
wanted to go Oh the stand as witness
and prove that no one in the city had
any right to issue license. To this the
court objected, statiug that Mr.. Canty
could not very well be a witness and
the attorney for the defense at the same
time. Mr.. Canty had nearly all the
city officials present, trying to sustain
his position, but for some reason it
failed to work.
The jury was out ten minutes and re-
turned Il verdict of guilty. Sentence

What Was Done at the Sessions
Held Yesterday

What Was Done at the Sessions
Held Yesterday.
The second day of the Methodist con-
ference opened at the Hennepin avenue
NJ. E. church yesterday morning with a
large attendance. The first business
was hearing reports from the presiding
elders of the various districts. These
reports were mainly statistical
and filled with generalities.
After this the announcement was
made that Bishop Foster had
removed w. E. King, Jacob Mills, w. b.
Coombe and w. a. Shannon to the
Montanna conference, and had also
transferred Practitioners JudsOn ID.
Phinney and II. ID. WadSworth. The
the ministry: Z, W. Haley, E. A. Pow
ell. j. S. Bouck, E. p. Robertson, J. J.
Edwards, l.. l.. Town and j. w. Ra-
veille. Before asking them the regular
questions Bishop Foster addressed them
at some length upon their duties. He
dwelt strongly upon the necessity by
being learned, and in this connection
said:
You must be learned minister / do not
say educated minister. They are not con-
vertible. Some uneducated ministers speed
lily become learned, while some educated
ministers never become learned. You must
be able to treat social matters of the greatest
importance. Among these are the relation
of capital and labor. and the massing of our
population into our large cities, the develop
ment in the Northwest, the illiteracy
of the Southern states, relation of the
blacks and whites, the marriage and divorce
laws. We want men who can talk about
these things and say something. You must
be learned in this country. l would rather
place a half-educated clerical nobody in
Philadelphia or Boston than in Bozeman or
Santa Fe. He'll get along much better.
They want bright, energetic, learned men
ont there. You must know something. If
YOU offend the ear of school girl of sixteen
by grammatical error, it is probable that
you will not be successful as her spiritual ad-
wiser. You cannot afford to destroy her
faith in you. You must be learned pastor,
q consecrated pastor, soulsaving pastor
and practical pastor.
The afternoon session was devoted to
a meeting in the interest of the
Woman'S Christian Temperance Union.
The Mutual Aid association of the con-
ference met in the lecture room of the
church in the afternoon, and elected the
following officers: S. G.. Smith, presi-
dedt; D. Brooks, vice president; III. B.
